Humphrey of Wichita, Kan, rerent-
ly received letter from there stating
that rats baye collected in the town
by the million and asking him to
gather all the cats be can find and ex-
press them there. As result Hum
phrey collected from owners who
were only too glad to give them
away $50 cats in his own towD, put
them in cages, and expressed them to
Hugo. The next day be went to
Mulvane, 30 miles distant, and there
collected 800 tom cate. and expressed
them also. He intends to finish out
1000 cats and then await further
orders. The cold weather caused the
rats to come in from the prairie In
great numbers, and they are playing
sad havoc with merchandise of all
kinds.

cases more. Eleven say seyenty-fye per
cent. and upwards. Only one or two place
the loans as low as fifty per cent. One says
the companies claim to loan only thirty
three and one-third per cent. but as matter
of fact loan so per cent.
The differences to be deduced from these
facts and figures are obvious. The business
is being vastly overdone. The farmers OF
Kansas and Nebraska are being saddled
with debts so big that they cannot
carry them through an unfavorable
year For several years back they
have had good crops and realized good
prices. Let their crops or the demand
for them fail, and great many of these
farmers will be unable to pay their interest.
Eastern investors will then find themselves
with vast areas of land on their hands with
out market for it, A great many of these
lands are situated in the western part Of
Kansas, which is subject to severe drouths.
Let one of these drouths come along and the
great "boom" in that locality will be sue
eeeded by period of depression that will
send the present inflated value put upon
property there down with rush. We are
not unmindful of the fact that these compa-
MES profess to guarantee the loans they
place. But as a matter Of fact great many
Of them with only small capitals are
guaranteeing millions. How much their
guarantee will be worth when the crash
comes it is unnecessary to point out

AS is natural and always to be expected,
both these bills have been opposed by the
saloon interests. At Harrisburg this opposi-
ton was so open and shameless in its meth
DDS as to cause almost public scandal. 1t
is also true, though reason would declare
the statement paradoxical did not expert
ence prove the fact possible, that both
these measures have been opposed by the
~third-party Prohibitionists; who take the
ground that the license system, while it may
restrict the traffic, implies legalizaton of
1t which is wrong; and that when law can
not be passed which assumes to stamp out
the traffic Immediately, it is preferable to let
the saloons flourish unrestrained, legalized
by laws which do not restrict. The third
opponent, the great Democratic party with
its motto declaring opposition to all sumptu-
airy legislation, has taken no surprising or
unusual position. 1t is not surprising that.
while the Brooks bill was coming to a vote
in the Legislature at Harrisburg, the dark
throng of lobbyists who were trying to defeat
it, should rendezvous at the edge of the DEM
ocratic seats; it has been universally ex-
pected that Governor Hill would veto the
Crosby bill. 1t has been expected that he
would veto it because powerful organizations
OF his own party in New York have memori-
allied him to do SO, because the Prohibition
allies of his party wished him to, and be-
cause the bill was Republican measure con-
ceived by Republican and put through al
most entirely by Republican votes BY the
veto Governor Hill has pleased his own sup
porters; to please the genuine friends Of
temperance who want the evil of intemper-
ance restricted by every honorable means,
is not his object. Those men train in a diff
ferent political camp.

Two important Measures.

On Tuesday two important steps were TAX
en- in the continuous contest which is now
waged against the saloons. The House of
Representatives of the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature passed the Brooks high license bill,
and Governor Hill, of New York, vetoed the
Crosby high license bill. The Brooks bill
provides that the license In cities of the first,
second and third classes shall be $500; in all
other cities $500; in boroughs $50, and in
townships SIS. The Crosby bill was to APP
ply only to the cities of New York and
Brooklyn. where the evil of intemperanee
has become most urgent public question.
The objects Of both bills are the same,-to
diminish the number of saloons and the
plan is based on the results in other cities
where high-license has been tried. These
results show that high license is an effective
method of lessening the number of saloons
in cities where public sentiment is not ad-
vanced enough to enforce prohibitory laws.
1t will be seen that in those cities where the
licenses are the highest the proportion OF
saloons to population is lowest:

order that the dog might pass to and from
the library TO his kennel in the back yard
without going through the house, the Sena-

for the dog, extended from one of the rear
windows OF the library to the yard below.
The dog passes up and down this staircase at

John A. Campbell, now of Baltimore, who

the judge was kept some time prisoner of
war at Fort Pulaski under a guard of "a
marine regiment composed almost entirely
as far as the privates were concerned Of
Georgia negroes. The colored ichaplain was
very civil to the judge who in turn felt kind
ly toward him. One day the chaplain came
to the judge with q new book sent him by a
northern bible society and begged the judge
to tell him how to read it, saying: Il can
read and preach the Bible pretty WELL but
dis yer book is kinder Disconnected" The
Judge examined the volume and found it a
Bible dictionary.

In few moments the old general limped up

us about the trouble there" At this the
old general rose from his seat, and, in Judge
Bonds words, "stood up in front of US and
seemed to grow about IT feet tall as he
glared at us laundering out, what are you

Baltimore?'" The Judge adds that he has Of
